Recurrent falls, fall related injuries

About 20% of my patients have chronic pain caused by recurrent falls and fracture. Here we provide some tips for preventing falls and fracture as suggested by American Council on Exercise.

Create an exercise regime that includes aerobic weight-bearing exercises four days per week, plus two or three days of resistance training.

Perform flexibility exercises frequently, but make sure you don't include activities that cause the spine to bend forward.

Build your muscles by walking, running or lifting weights.

Perform a variety of different exercises that you enjoy and that work different muscles.

Make sure your exercises don't cause any joint pain
